Steven MacKinnon

I think the prime minister should be expected to be there, cheering on our national men’s soccer team in Vancouver,

We now have a very real set of criminal justice reforms,

We will not cut corners when it comes to respect; we will not cut corners when it comes to sensitivity.

I have directed Alto to proceed with extreme sensitivity, to respectfully deal with landowners who will end up along this route.

Yes it is a longer route, but it does not add enough time such that it would dissuade people from … taking a short airplane ride, or getting in their car or using some other mode.

Today’s report reflects the voices of Canadians and communities across the corridor. I have directed Alto to develop a southern route option that includes a potential stop in Kingston, subject to technical feasibility and project…

This is a strong indication of preference for one route over another.

This is a project for, literally, the common good. This is a project for people.

This is an important next step toward building a faster, cleaner and more connected rail network for Canadians.

I have directed Alto to develop a southern route option that includes a potential stop in Kingston, subject to technical feasibility and project requirements.

This is a very real set of reforms in terms of criminal justice.

The legislation covers a range of subjects, but two themes are obviously prominent: the economy and protecting Canadians from crime," MacKinnon said in the foyer of the House of Commons.

I hope that, you know, the conspiracies and the tinfoil hats are something that will fade away over time.

In summary, it's been a very busy spring sitting.

Every day matters in this place and a legislative achievement matters.

I hope that the conspiracies and the tinfoil hats are something that will fade away over time, but we can now safely say that it is the Liberal Party that’s the party that’s most clearly for law and order in the country.

It used to be that Conservatives were the law and order party.

Getting it done rather than continuing to ping pong with the Senate.

I would like to thank all MPs for the hard work they put in and … when we all return in the fall, we'll, once again, I assure you, have a very busy legislative agenda.

We sent a very, very clear message that Canada's representatives are behind giving [law enforcement] what is the last lawful access regime [to be enacted] in the G7,

We have focused on these things because they are what matters to Canadians.

Every day matters in this place.

We want to listen to the voice of Toronto, people in the GTA, users of the airport, people who live close, and people who depend on that service.

(The) government intends to maximize every opportunity it can to get the work of the people done.

There’s a great realization in society that there are negative effects from social media use, maybe particularly among our youth, and this bill, when it’s tabled, will seek to address that.
